Get full jackpot coverage of any 8-number combinations using 28 lines. With any 3if3 match, you’ll be guaranteed 10 prizes. Every ticket is a winner from 4+Bonus matches onward, while match 4 offers a 78% prize rate.
Playing Tips
Once you go over 10 tickets per draw, you exponentially increase your number of losing tickets. Plays like these are best left when doubling-up or taken a chance when you feel your numbers are due to come up.
If you want to increase your draws until break-even, look for a lottery (like BC49) that offers payouts of 75x for match 4 and 750x for match 5.
8 Numbers | 28 Lines
While the cost of running the gauntlet with 8 numbers is 4x that of a 7 number full wheel, you’ll get 2.5x the wins on each match with a greater chance of your numbers coming up.

- 50x prize for Match 4 → $50 prize / $1 ticket
- 500x prize for Match 5 → $500 prize / $1 ticket
Break-Even
- Match 3 = $10: every 4 draws… or
- Match 4 = $50: every 16 draws… or
- Match 5 = $500 : every 83 draws
Wheel Summary
While you increase your odds by adding an extra ball, the break-even stats take a big hit due to the low payouts on small wins.
Small, match 3 prizes here will not be very profitable and you will require a lot of free tickets match to make up for the extra number of losing tickets per draw.
